This week I started reading the 1898 edition of the Canby News. This is the oldest yearly book of the Canby News at the Depot. We have some earlier papers back to 1890 but they are not bound in book form or complete. In the old papers there is significant national and world news in the papers.

Ingredients:

1¼ cups distilled white vinegar (5% acidity)

3 tablespoons kosher salt

2 tablespoons sugar

2 cups cold water

1¾ to 2 pounds Kirby cucumbers (about 6), cut into halves or spears

2 tablespoons coriander seeds

6 large garlic cloves, peeled and halved
